Abstract
Ocean wave energy is a promising renewable energy source, but harvesting this irregular low-frequency energy is challenging due to technological limitations. In this paper, a pendulum plate-based triboelectric nanogenerator (PP-TENG) is reported, which absorbs wave energy through the pendulum plate installed at the bottom to generate a swing effect, driving the motion of the upper TENG power generation unit, and generating charge transfer on the surface of polymer PTFE and nylon film. The PP-TENG was tested after building a semi-physical simulation test platform. It can simultaneously light 33 commercial LED lamps, and the current under short-circuit conditions can reach 2.45 μA, the voltage under open-circuit conditions can reach 212 V. After PP-TENG is connected in series with a resistor with a resistance value of 3 * 105Ω, its maximum peak power density can reach 6.74 mw/m2. It indicates that PP-TENG has low fabrication cost and excellent energy conversion efficiency.
